Galactic Civil War

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is a synthesis of plot elements taken from the various Star Wars video games, movies, and novels without any assertion of notability through multiple reliable sources. As all of this information is already covered in greater detail in the various articles from which it was culled, this is an in-universe duplication of that information, and should be deleted.

 * Keep WP:FICT Also, where is this duplicated?  RogueNinja talk  23:55, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * In all the original Star Wars trilogy articles plot sections, which detail this conflict in more detail. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 00:56, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * See WP:V: "If no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." User:Dorftrottel 20:43, January 23, 2008
 * Keep as it without doubt passes WP:FICT. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 02:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It does however not pass the overriding WP:V. User:Dorftrottel 20:43, January 23, 2008
 * Delete and redirect to Star Wars. --EEMIV (talk) 02:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as unnecessary plot details which are already sufficiently covered in other articles. Also: No reliable, third-party sources available. User:Dorftrottel 20:43, January 23, 2008
 * Keep another run at the strategy of deleting detail articles because they are too detailed, and general ones because they are too general. DGG (talk) 03:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You are saying Judgesurreal777 acted in bad faith when s/he nominated the article for deletion. And incidentally, you're not stating any opinion, let alone any rationale, on the article itself. What's more, this AfD is about this article, and this article alone. It can have nothing to do with any other AfDs. If it is actually your primary concern that there is some sinister anti-cruft cabal at work, you should seek out more approriate venues, as you are well aware.

 * Keep. Arguably one of the most, if not the most notable fictional wars every told across multiple works of fictions, including films, toys, video games, comic books, novels, etc.  Information can be easily verified, but just needs some additional inline citations.

 * The information here is just plot summary an inappropriate for Wikipedia. In the long history of this article, where are the citations to sources that offer a real-world, out-of-universe perspective? I doubt they're out there; contributors to this article haven't met the burden of proof to establish real-world notability to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia. --EEMIV (talk) 19:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The article is entirely appropriate for a non-paper encyclopedia that anyone can edit and can and should just be improved. Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 20:10, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:FICT's requirments for inclussion, the article definitely needs some clean up, but it definitely should not be deleted. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:52, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
